DU VC Prof. Deepak Pental seems a man in hurry to introduce semester system at the undergraduate level. Despite facing strong opposition from various quarters including Delhi School of Economics, English, Psychology and various other departments and faculties he has now called up a meeting of members of Faculty of Science to get approval for the semester system at the undergraduate level.

Interesting fact is that over 150 member-strong Committee of Faculty of Science is going to meet on Monday without any agenda. “Not a single member has received any agenda for proposed meeting. How can anybody discuss syllabus, mode of examination and other related issues of over 20 different subjects of science in a meeting of few hours without going through it”, asks a senior member of the Committee. “We really do not know that what is going to happen over there except this that Vice-Chancellor may present in the meeting”, he says.

It is like that the Vice-Chancellor has no faith in well-established academic system of the university and he wants to ruins all the systems in the last phase of his term in the university. “Even, he himself is present in the meeting of the departments so that voice of opposition could not be raised and the semester system get okay seal without any discussions”, a member of the Executive Council told fachcha.com. Recently, he has done the same in the Geology department, he adds. Moreover, the university administration has been avoiding to call meeting of statutory bodies to discuss these matters and trying to get such approval through sub committees, which is not just unethical but also does not bear any legal sanctity, he says.
